SWASH Clothing Care System: The Child of Whirlpool and P&G

[frigilux]

Wondering what to do with that spare $500 you have lying around? Whirlpool and P&G are betting the farm you'll want their latest clothing care system called the Swash.

Hang a garment in the device, add a Swash pod (that's where P&G comes in), and 10 to 15 minutes later, it's de-wrinkled, deodorized, and ready to wear. Don't you dare call it a steamer, admonish the corporate parents; temps stay well below 200 degrees.

Great idea for dress pants which get wrinkled but not dirty after a single wearing; ditto shirts; ditto skirts, dresses and whatever else it is you ladies wear.

One more thing: Keep plenty of pin money on hand for the pods: They're $.60 apiece. It appears the Swash handles only one garment at at time, so....ca-CHING!

And yes, of course I want one. It'll fit perfectly next to that new Samsung Baby Clothes Washer.

WhirlGamble (ProcterPool?) plans an August launch.

How did they use the name "Swash"….

…..when it's already used by Brondell (San Francisco) for their line of toilet seat bidets?

Bill--- That is too funny! I was chuckling because it sounds so much like 'swass', which is Twitter-speak for ass sweat.

Sandy--- Well, when the thing is pulled from production in six months due to lack of sales, future collectors of early 21st century laundry artifacts will have a heyday outbidding each other for one.

I think using Downy wrinkle releaser works just as well as the swatch.  I lay the garment flat, give it a spritz smooth it with my clean hands wait 5 minutes for it to dry and it does a decent job.

 

But wait I guess they will discontinue this product because it is cheaper than the swatch even though it does just a good.
